Winter is upon us and with temperatures plummeting in many areas, keeping the heat on is critical — a fact that criminals try to take advantage of. They impersonate utility companies, threatening to cut off service if an immediate payment isn’t made. The goal of these crooks is to create a sense of urgency so the target acts quickly to pay the alleged past-due balance.
“AARP Michigan applauds today’s action in the Michigan Senate to repeal the state’s retirement tax that for too long, has weighed heavily on an already financially vulnerable population in our state. Enacted through Public Act 38 of 2011, this tax blindsided Michigan retirees who unexpectedly saw their budgeted monthly incomes diminished. Year after year, millions of Michiganders who worked hard and played by the rules saw their retirement undercut by this tax, forcing many to go back to work or delay retirement. AARP has fought this tax from the start and today we turn our focus to the members in the Michigan House of Representatives who now have the opportunity to right this wrong once and for all. We urge those legislators – all 110 of them, to get it done and repeal this onerous tax. It’s time to make things right.”
